Hamburg/Germany, July 30th, 2009 – Inviting friends and playing exciting events in front of the TV screen – this is what Summer Athletics 2009 is all about. Computer generated athletes compete against each other or even fight for victory as part of the same team.

Four players can join the fun in all events of arcade or simulation mode. Playing simultaneously on splitscreen or one after another in hot seat mode is only a question of taste. The Wii Balance Board™ Cup with eight disciplines to be controlled via Balance Board can be played in hotseat mode as well.

The first concept art of Epic Mickey was leaked yesterday, in addition to a small nugget of information that the game is being developed for Wii. Now not only has that detail been confirmed, but there there are additional gameplay and story details that have been released.

– Paint through levels
– Use Wii controller to paint
– This involves drawing, etching, erasing (some or all parts of a level)
– Story based on very old/forgotten Disney characters
– Those characters wish to take revenge of Mickey, perhaps because they are jealous of him

A developer over at the Telltale forums has caused a bit of controversy with some of his comments. A member who had recently downloaded the first chapter of Tales of Monkey Island, noting his dissatisfaction with the game, posted some big complaints relating to frame rate issues. A Telltale developer responded in the topic, but riled up a few Wii owners in the process by saying that “An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii.”

“The voices and textures are the way they are because we’re limited to 40 megs for WiiWare titles. The PC versions of our games are usually 150+ megs, and most modern games range anywhere from 1-10 gigabytes or more. Talk to Nintendo about this one.

Frame rate issues will probably get sorted out eventually, but keep in mind that the Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii, even.”

Later, in a response to a user saying that he used “strong words,” the developer said:

“And I stand by them. The Wii and DS are extremely underpowered and their popularity doesn’t remove the hardware limitations.”
